Objectives:
To investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being and spiritual intelligence with mental health in students.
Methods:
This descriptive-analytical study was conducted among 277 students (110 boys and 167 girls) through convenience sampling. The data collection instruments in this study included a spiritual well-being questionnaire, King's spiritual intelligence questionnaire, and Goldberg's general health questionnaire. After being entered into SPSS statistical software, the data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical.
Results:
The results of multivariate regression analysis using the step-by-step method showed that spiritual well-being predicts 14% of the variance of students' mental health. Also, on the scale of spiritual well-being, the two dimensions of communication with oneself and communication with others were predictors for the social functioning dimension of mental health. Also, among the subscales of spiritual well-being, the subscale of connection with God had an inverse and significant relationship with anxiety and physical health (p<0.05), and an inverse and significant relationship were observed between the subscale of connection with self with anxiety and depression (p<0.05).
Conclusions:
The results of the present study confirm that spiritual well-being and spiritual intelligence affect mental health and its dimensions.
